An oil and gas field with a reserve of 30 million cubic meters has been discovered 40 km away from the south end of the village, and drilling has started.

There are various kinds of primitive Populus euphratica forests here. The Tarim River and the Weigan River complement each other here, and the Taklimakan desert is endless. The Lop Nur people, who rowed canoes, ate roast fish and spoke Lop Nur dialect, grew up here. Tourists can enjoy the river, the forest, the sand sea by camel, hunting, sand skiing, fishing by boat, listening to the folk songs of the Lop people, watching the Lop dance around the campfire, sleeping in the hut, enjoying the ancient lop ethnic customs and enjoying the fun of returning to nature. More and more tourists at home and abroad are attracted by the exotic customs of Luobu village in the hinterland of desert. This national 4A scenic spot has formed tourism projects such as eco-tourism, hunting, boating, Lop people's custom tour, etc., which has become a top-quality tourist attraction in Xinjiang and also driven the local economic development.

The last rob

Luobu people are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Xinjiang. They live in Xiaohaizi on the Bank of the Tarim River. "They don't grow grain, don't herd livestock, but only feed on small boat fishing." Its dialect is also one of the three major dialects in Xinjiang. Its folk customs, folk songs and stories have unique artistic value. They have been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and now there are only a few "last Robles" left in the desert. They fish, hunt and grow crops in Haizi side of the desert. They keep the primitive customs, and their life is full of mystery.

Lopnur people, also known as Lopnur people. According to the Northern Wei Dynasty (i.e. the middle of the sixth century), the book of Wei, Tuyuhun said: "in the north of Tuyuhun, there is no enemy country, and the custom is the same as that of Tuyuhun. If you don't know grain, you can only eat fish and Su Zi. At that time, Tuguhun lived in Northern Qinghai, Ruoqiang and Qiemo in Xinjiang, and was a branch of Xianbei nationality. The customs of the lops are the same.

Like other nomads such as Mongols, the Luobu people live by water and grass. The difference is that their way of life is not nomadic, but fishing and hunting.

Luobu people have lived in Haizi group isolated from the outside world from generation to generation, and their closed living environment has created a way of life to adapt to it. They don't grow grain, they don't herd livestock, they only feed on small boats fishing, or they pick wild hemp, or they take hush bird skin for clothing, or they take otter skin and hush bird plume to sell goods to the city, and they replace clothing with cloth.

There is no concept of currency in the lops, just barter. The material living conditions of Lop Nur people are very poor, but their adaptability is very strong. As the saying goes, "living by mountains and drinking by water", they live by Lop Nur waters and the surrounding wetlands and their original Populus euphratica forests.

During the Tang Dynasty, the middle road of the "Silk Road" declined, and the Luobu people still lived between Karakul and Zhuo. Luobu's residential area is desolate and closed. After epidemics and natural disasters, they have moved to other places to settle down, nomadic, and farming. Only the residents of kerquga village still retain many of Luobu people's material and cultural remains. By the early days of liberation, there were only dozens of households left. The Luobu people in kalquga village love to work. They are nearly 70 or 80 years old and still work hard. They often gather five or six people, carrying nets woven with wild hemp, harpoons and batons, and rowing down the lake. When fishing comes back, every family in the village will eat at will, and catch after eating, regardless of each other.

Longevity is a major feature of the Lop Nur people. Because they live in the remote Lop Nur area and are far away from environmental pollution, there are many centenarians. Although old-fashioned, but not deaf, eyes do not spend, thinking clearly, optimistic, open-minded, bold, can still hear music dancing, singing.

The most famous lop people in history are aldek. As the guide of Swedish Explorer Sven heding, he led the scientific expedition team to discover Loulan ancient city and Xiaohe cemetery, which shocked the whole world. There's an aldek Memorial in the Lop village.

The main entrance of Luobu village is shaped like the head of a man in a hat, with fish totems on both sides. In the small Luobu village, visitors can see four interesting people and objects at the same time, namely Luobu people, Haizi, Populus euphratica and desert. In fact, what we see are all human landscapes, designed by professors of archaeology, and built in recent years. In the past, we couldn't see the real life scene of Luobu village. I heard that there were only a few families living here, and each family was so far away that they were moved away. It can only be said that the original village park of the restored Luobu village is more appropriate. You can learn some knowledge about the primitive villages from the guide and play with the sand mountain.

The songs of the lops

Rob folk songs have been passed down orally from generation to generation and become a system. Most of them take love as the genre and have strong vitality. For example, "beloved girl" is sung like this:

I'm from kalquga,

Like a fish swimming in the water.

Ever since I met you,

I can't sleep.

Dear girl,

Because it's a long way.

The moon in the sky,

Take my deep blessing.

My beloved girl,

You are the brightest moonlight in my heart

When singing rob folk songs, the male voice is generally deep and rough, the voice is thick, sometimes extremely loud and sonorous; the female voice is melodious and graceful, crisp and delicate, sometimes with a wide range and a long beat.

The dance of the Robles

Luobu people's "small step Ramen dance" is the best proof. The whole process of this dance, from mixing noodles, kneading noodles, squeezing under noodles to cooking noodles, can incisively and vividly show the scene of the Luobu people entertaining guests.

Luobu people's "Lion Dance" can be regarded as the treasure of animal dance of ethnic minorities in Western China. It has specially made props, a man wearing a beard and a bronze decoration. Dancers follow the rhythm of the Nagra drum, dancing, both imitation of the lion's majestic hands, eyes, body, method, step, and there are flutter, claw, Teng, move, jump and other forms of exorcism predation, no matter the form of expression or artistic style, artistic conception is profound, shocking, unconventional, with unparalleled artistic value and research value.

The "Lion Dance" of the Lop people is totally different from the lion dance performed by the Han people. The lion dance of the Han people is usually performed by two people playing a lion, while the lion dance of the Lop people is performed by one person. This kind of lion dance shows the king of beasts in one move, and its performance program is obviously unique to the Lop people. Performers in the performance of lion dance facial expression is very rich, humorous, often won warm applause from the audience.

Luobu customs

The Luobu people have lived by fishing for generations. They believe that fish is the ancestor of human beings and also the symbol of male and female reproduction. On the door is the totem of fish, and on both sides are the male (left) and female (right) of the Luobu people. They advocate love and perseverance. The wooden figure above means that men are pursuing women. On both sides are the gate of yin and Yang, the male root is full of vitality, and the female reproduction gives a sense of sacredness. In ancient times, people worshipped the mystery of both sexes in the transition from matriarchal clan to paternal clan. When entering, men enter on the left and women enter on the right. When you go out, you should come out from the right side to show the worship of female reproduction.
